Park is not a strongly dominant choice for Eric because there is another option (Beach) that offers higher utility in one state of the world (Cloudy).
-
Mall is not a strongly dominant choice for Eric because there are other options (Beach and Park) that offer higher utility in all states of the world.
-
Mall is not strictly better than Beach and Park when the state is Rainy because Park offers a higher utility (6 > 3).
-
Park is not strictly better than Beach and Mall for all three states because Beach offers a higher utility when the state is Cloudy (6 > 9).
